West Vancouver, Highway 1, going East. Speed limit is 90. Snowboarders in a van with WA plates zip ahead pushing 140 going back home. Following the van I catch myself going pretty fast and slow down. A couple of seconds after that I see a patrol car with lights on in hot pursuit behind me. I though he was after the WA van, but he pulled me over instead... I had my wife, a baby and mother-in-law in the car.
I was involved in a traffic accident 2 nights ago in Vancouver. I hit another vehicle at an intersection and called the police. I could not remember the details of the accident but I told the police that I was not sure what colour the light was and admitted responsibility that I hit the other car. The police took down all the information, asked me to report to ICBC but did not give me a ticket and did not say th
I do have a couple more questions related to court:
1)I will be bringing a witness who was in the vehicle at the time. Do I need to inform the court ahead of time of this? Or is it something I would do when the case starts?
2)I assume the witness would testify after the Officer but before myself? Is that right?
Have you ever wondered how our penalty point system came to be? This document from the European community examines the penalty point system in European countries and recommends best practices to implement an effective system. Only 36 pages in length, it examines a significant number of aspects including what type of offences to include, should there be a separate system for novice or professional drivers and whether the owner of a vehicle should receive penalty points if they were not driving.
I was ticketed for speeding and contested the ticket. I recieved my trial date notice and wasn't able to make that date. I then applied to change the date and was approved. After that, the ticketing officer called (my wife answered) and wanted to change the new date. He said he would call back as he needed to speak with me, but I never heard from him.
I received a Violation Ticket (Speed in Playground Zone) about a year ago and will be disputing it at some point... (I still have not received my court date)
I just moved here from Manitoba and have already got my first BC speeding ticket! I was on my motorcycle on the Trans Canada in the construction zones. I was riding behind another motorbike at about 7 car lengths behind him when we passed the cop.
I approached a 4 way stop, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I stopped. I waited & proceeded straight through the intersection as there were no cars approaching the intersection from any direction. This happened about 10 pm at night, at an intersection about 3 blocks from my home, so it is an intersection I am very familiar with.
